Interpretation Toward Books Obsidian Butterfly (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #9)
This was the last Anita Blake novel worth reading, primarily because of Edward. The rest of the series has been garbage (including Edwards' return. Seriously, what was his body count in the Harlequin, one? Maybe?). I don't have a problem with the sex, but Hamilton has sacrificed that literary device thingy called 'plot' in order to pack the pages with smut. Something happens, they have sex for five hundred pages, then the Ardeur snaps it's fingers and kills the badguy.In terms of characters it's obvious that Richard is Hamilton's personal dumping ground from everything she's ever felt about her ex-husband, turning the interesting power dynamic present in the first few books into something sad. Also, despite the legions of evil creatures (including the oldest and strongest vampires on the planet) that attack her at every turn, nobody close to Anita ever dies. Hamilton has stated that she loves her characters and will never kill them off, and that childish petulance combined with the almighty Ardeur robs her books of any sense of danger.
Now Blood Noir is out, and though I will reserve judgment until I hear something more specific about it I'm not holding my breath expecting Hamilton to grow up again.

Anita makes some surprising and frightening discoveries about the mystery man in her life. If you were ready for a break from the vampire politics,the hot and heavy romance and the soul searching that came with said romance, this book is for you. This is the first step in the author's contention that the real monsters are not always the ones with fangs and super human powers, and she presents this with a skillful
Last AB I read, I think, in 2000. Stil pretty good, but on the decline. From others, I gather the later ones get REALLY bad.
Finally, it's Edward's book!A 4 1/2, not quite a five because Anita's badass attitude grates here and there but so much better than the books focused on the triumvirate (sp?) and sexy times. Obsidian Butterfly is all business, no sex. This is the book the Edward fans were clamoring for and it was worth the wait. This book lets us in on Edward's secret life when he calls in Anita to help out with a series of grisly murders. She learns he's living another life where he is known as good old boy
One word: OlafWhat a great book. I really liked how there was more action and getting to know Edward.
As the author says this one is for all the Edward fans out there. And indeed, I am one of them. Right from the beginning I have liked Edward, even when all we knew about him was that he was a cold, mysterious assassin. In this book we, and Anita, learn more about Edward's background. It's a fascinating story and full of the action that surrounds both Edward and Anita most of the time. Anita takes another step in her personal growth in this book as well. Though she does spend a lot of time trying
I really wasnt excited about this book. All I wanted was to skim over the paragraphs so that I could get to the next book of the series, Narcissus in Chains as quickly as possible! And then it hit me mutilated bodies and Olaf. You need to read this book to understand just how messed up my opinion is of his character. Hes dangerous. Hes deadly. And Blake is just his victim type. I like him! Total turn on .. go figure. Obsidian butterfly is a fantastic book filled with torture, essence sucking
